| ctinhan's Full Review: Mothers Back To Black |
My husband is a manager of an Auto Parts store and is always trying new car care products to improve the condition of our vehicle's body. He had noticed the bumpers on our Minivan seemed to have a whitish residue on them and wanted to remove this discoloring as soon as possible. His first choice to do this task was Mothers Back-to-Black.
Mothers Back-to-Black is an exterior bumper and trim care product that renews and protects the trim of your vehicle. The exterior trim on your vehicle can be damaged by many outside factors that you cannot control, but with the use of this product you can prevent further damage from being done as well as restore the natural shine and beauty to the affected trim. Some of the factors that can cause damage and discoloration on your vehicle's trim work include the sun, water, smog, ozone, residue from other chemicals you may have used on your vehicle and airborne contaminants.
The main purpose of Mothers Back-to-Black is to remove and prevent further damage to the trim caused from oxidation, ground in dirt, residue from wax and any surface film from the trim of your vehicle. With the use of this product you will find the surface you treated with it to look much newer and shinier.
This product can be used on any of your exterior trim that is made of vinyl, rubber, plastic and flat finishes. Despite the name, Back-to-Black, this product can be used on any colored finish providing it is a flat-finished surface. In our experience, it does work best on black colored surfaces.
Some of the areas that this product can be used on include but are not limited to: Bumpers
Bumper guards
Protective moldings
Decorative moldings
Louvers
Air vents
Window trim
Wiper arms
Mothers Back-to-Black comes in an eight ounce squeeze-type bottle. The product inside the bottle has a thin creamy consistency that spreads very easily. My only complaint with this product is the smell of it. It has a very strong odor that reminds me of a mixture of nail polish and turpentine. To avoid the inhalation of these fumes, I suggest using the product in a well ventilated area only. However, the surface cannot be hot when applying this product so do not apply it to a car surface that is sitting in direct sunlight.
To apply Mothers Back-to-Black exterior trim care it is advised that you follow the steps listed below in order to achieve superior results.
1)Shake well before and during each use
2)Pour Back-to-Black onto a sponge, cloth applicator or terry cloth towel
3)Apply liberally to the surface you want cleaned and protected.
4)Massage the product thoroughly into the surface
5)Allow to dry. My husband usually leaves it on for about a half hour before he continues with the process.
6)Buff with a dry cloth or towel. If any streaking is present, you will need to continue with some brisk buffing to combat this.If the area you treated is heavily soiled or stained you may need to repeat the above process to get optimum results. After the buffing process is done, the surface that you applied it to should look just like new again.
7)Wash your hands after you have applied this product.
A nice bonus, if you are apprehensive about trying this product, is that Mothers does guarantee that you will be satisfied with it. If you are not, you can return the unused portion for a refund or replacement of the product providing you have your proof of purchase.
As with any household or car care product, there is always a risk if you should swallow them. It is clearly stated on the bottle that the product can be harmful or fatal if swallowed. Should accidental ingestion occur- you should never induce vomiting because this product contains alcohol and can do more damage if you do. Should the ingestion of the product occur, contact your Physician or Poison control immediately. Be sure to keep this product out of reach of children at all times.
After my husband has treated the different surfaces on our vehicle we are always pleased with the results that we see. We use this product about once every two weeks to keep the exterior trim protected and looking like new. The eight ounce bottle has lasted through several applications without us having to buy another bottle thus far.
